The Starlight Chronicles

In August 2023, I read every book (and the in-between episode books) of The Starlight Chronicles by C.S. Johnson.

I have made it my mission to read as many Christian fiction books as I can while writing my own book. This series was my first taste of the genre.

Specifically, this series is Christian fantasy with supernatural elements in a modern setting. There was so much to read, but I could not put these books down. If you like Angels and Demons and lots of action (superheoroes?) and a little bit of romance, this is for you!

Brace yourself for this long list ahead. These are the books in the series:

#1 Slumbering

#1.5 Awakening: A Christmas Episode

#2 Calling

#2.5 Falling: A Starry Knight Episode

#3 Submerging

#3.5 Seeing: A Wedding Episode

#4 Remembering

#4.5 Belonging: Date Night Episode

#5 Continuing

#5.5 Reflecting: A Dream Episode

#6 Outpouring

#6.5 Reawakening: A Rebirth Episode

#7 Everlasting

#8 Searching (the Prequel that's meant to be read last)

I loved this series and have found it difficult to find books that can follow this series and still keep my attention.

Without spoilers, the book found me laughing uncontrollably, sobbing until my eyes burned, and had me on the edge of my couch to the point where my family had to make sure I was okay on a dozen occasions.

The pros, I didn't see any noticeable plot holes and there were plenty of moments I didn't see coming. The characters were well written, and the setting was vivid enough for even me to see (I struggle with visuals.) The characters had so many redeeming qualities, which is a must-have for a book of this nature. On another note, her books are very affordable and available in paperback, hardback, box sets and digital copies. I did a combo of paperback and digital (because I was too impatient to wait for shipping at the time) and it worked out wonderfully.

The cons of the series, many reviewers said they gave up in the middle of the first book (don't do this.) The said the main character was too narcissistic and rotten, but I promise you it's worth getting through the first book to read all the rest of them. Lastly, the editor did a terrible job (I know it's not the best news.) But, I was able to work around it, just like I work around autocorrect. This was not the author's fault, so I can't fault her for it. Unfortunately for the author, her work was muddied by the editing mistakes made and if I could change anything about the series that would be the only change.

Biblical tie-ins: I saw the transformative power of God throughout this book. I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with gratitude and love for my Savior. I've had time to soak in silence after finishing the series, and it drew me into a closer relationship with Jesus.

Verses that go with this series include:

"For nothing is impossible with God." Luke 1:37

"We also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope." Romans 5:3-4

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us." Romans 8:18

"So then, let those who suffer according to God's will entrust themselves to a faithful Creator while doing what is good." 1 Peter 5:9

Final Thoughts: If you're looking for a finished Christian-based urban fantasy series about love, faith and giving evil an epic butt-kicking then pick up these books and binge until you cry snot-faced tears all over your dog. You won't regret a single moment of it.

didnt like my old wandering stars gif set so heres a new one :3c

[firadessa]

Please acknowledge Bleakwatch Chronicles, Tinker Bell and the Lost City. I understand that BW chronicles may not have as much fans and are turned off by the art style. Also the author never posted (Zack Loran Clark) much promo for the book unlike Allison, nor mentioned anything about DF on his IG page. It is intended for a younger audience. However, I am much more excited for this book as it pertains to the movie universe. So please, just clap if you believe if you will.

As this is the first book to come out since 2017 that is labeled as "Disney Fairies" and the second spinoff- like this is important. You don't have to buy the book or give it the free promotion, but acknowledge the existence of it at least. WoS is not labeled as DF, if it matters.

Here are some of the reasons why I am more excited for Bleakwatch Chronicles than I am for Wings of Starlight by Allison Saft (Clarion x Milori YA Novel):

It's a post canon story implied to take reference to the cancelled Tinker Academy movie where TB goes to study at the Tinker Academy on the mainland. The art seems like they took references especially when directly compared to the concept art. WoS is a backstory.

It releases first, BWC releases in November 2024 and WoS releases in Feb.

It seems like more of original concept to me, literally because of the new concepts like the Flutterpunks and the implied secret cities of the Bleakwatch and Clockwork Capital.

New characters like Quin and Ozwald will be joining TB on this journey.

It expands on a old concept, and tweaks it in a way that makes more sense. IMO, an idea like a Tinker Academy seems to hold less weight because before the events of Tinker Bell fairies couldn't go to the mainland to spread nature, and it's implied they always stay. It is also implied in GFR that Tinker fairies don't typically go to the mainland even if TB's inventions help them in the intensive summer season (the song implies that's why she's there- it's implied in the first movie she goes there whenever she has a job) Vidia is dismayed by this and says "this is why Tinker fairies don't go to the mainland" whilst TB is checking out the car. In a deleted storyboard for Tinker Academy it is implied that it is a prestigious academy that FM gets into before the events of Tinker Bell, yet to me the idea of underground London tinkers makes more sense to me than the academy. Think about it, it's implied that TB and FM are some of the most brilliant Tinkers in pixie hollow and yet the Tinker population is small. (only Clank and Bobble greet her and we see no one in green outfits) Why do you think that is? I personally like the idea of rogue Tinkers who would scavenge on the mainland for parts and self-exile themselves from Pixie Hollow. It explains why FM calls the lost things junk, if the difference in mindset between the mainland tinkers and the pixie hollow tinkers was that the mainland Tinkers are considered "scraps" (get it) while the PH tinkers are considered more put together and community driven. It makes sense that TB being a brilliant Tinker that outshines even Vidia gets such an audience if brilliant Tinkers do not normally last in PH because they are seen as too curious and ambitious, opting to start their own community of outcast Tinkers in the mainland. Vidia's talent switch in The Pirate Fairy also implies that Tinkers have the gift of thought, and literally think differently (regardless of personality) then their non-tinker peers because it's their talent. There is much potential for this storyline as it adds more nuance to the Tinker Bell movie and the dynamic between the nature and non nature talents, something I think it would benefit from. It makes a lot of sense if the edgier steampunk designs came from a secret Tinker counterculture and not a secret academy imo.

The implication of this book suggest revitalizing the Disney Fairies franchise, possibly not just as a "brand". Not sure what that could mean but it's interesting

IMO, Wings of Starlight has more of a "booktok" vibe I'm getting from it. I'm not just saying that because it's YA, but given the (beautiful) cover design it feels more targeted for what Disney thinks grown fans of Disney Fairies might like based on whatever market research was done (and you know it was). WoS has been receiving better marketing and there are people out here that don't even know two books exist. I'm not saying the book looks lazy, slapped together, or unoriginal- or it will just be corporate and bland, I mean I'm a Disney Fairies fan I don't believe that everything is corporate greed lol and like to see creativity in the "unexpected". But I hope that future Disney Fairies books won't just be going for what is "trendy" to reel people in and instead invest in creative storytelling *in general*, in other words I hope they keep concepts and genres broad and inclusive enough so we have the potential for more creative stories. Not just expanded stories on specific characters and stories like the Twisted Tales series, or sticking to specific genres for this specific niche audience in a way that feels too specific. I feel like there has to be some sort of balance struck, or DF may be a little stuck for a while and may still have "missed potential".

On expanded stories, like I said, Disney has done a lot of that and there is an audience for that. However, I prefer the idea of post canon more than a backstory or expansion. From what I know, we know some details of the Milarion backstory and it will be adding more layers and expanding on the dynamics of the existing characters, where the new book seems to be more lore driven in focus.

I don't like Secret of the Wings that much in terms of lore as a lore fanatic. I feel like this book could also retcon other things when possibly trying to explain things that make sense in SOTW. If BWC is good, I can imagine myself thinking about it more after it releases but I can just imagine myself thinking more of how I felt and my emotional reaction after WoS with fading interest afterward, it just sort of feels like the book could resonate with me more y'know? and I got a pretty good gut feeling for that sort of thing.

Underdog bias, just acknowledge it's existence. Do that with the NG graphic novels from 2022, heck the whole Never Girls series. Do that with the whole DF franchise if you are new here somehow. That's it, that's the post.

The mystery. What is the mysterious pocketwatch and who's on the cover?

Copy and pasted plot summary- Tinker Bell loves nothing more than solving a problem. For her, red buttons demand to be pushed, treasure maps need to be followed, and lost things ought to be found. So when a strange fairy crash lands in Pixie Hollow and leaves Tinker Bell two clues to find a mysterious necklace on the Mainland, she really doesn’t have a choice but to help. However, her journey takes an unexpected turn when she discovers a hidden city of fairies living below the streets of London.

In this city called Bleakwatch, she’ll meet the Flutterpunks, the most infamous band of trinket scavengers around. Helping her may just give them their biggest score yet. But when the Flutterpunks’ plan goes haywire, they’ll be forced to choose between a big payday or saving their new friend.

When their adventure takes them inside the glittering Clockwork Capital, Tinker Bell and the Flutterpunks will uncover a villainous secret that threatens all the fairies in Bleakwatch. It turns out there’s more at stake than just finding a missing necklace, and it’ll be up to Tinker Bell to set things right. Luckily, that’s what tinker fairies do best!

Something was... off

Grim had gotten to front a couple minutes ago, and its head hurt like a bitch - expectedly so, it was used to that and all, but very fucking annoying - yet that wasn't it. He vaguely remembered Sam - or maybe Collins? - coming back from college and lying on their bed. Whether they had fallen asleep or only dissociated fucking hard was a mystery.

Grim sat up and took a candy bad from the bedside table. As he munched on it, he tried to guess what the hell was going on. Not hunger, the candy didn't fix shit. Not anything bad that had happened, Grim was always aware of any danger they were or had been in (not really, Sunny thought, but paw didn't hear). They were hydrated, probably, since Kyle's annoying ass made sure they drank water every single day because he refused to shut the fuck up and get the sand out of his vagina. They had surely slept, even if they had struggled with it lately, and they didn't have any tests in the near future - even if they did, it wasn't like any of them less Grim would study for them. He could hear their flatmates doing whatever downstairs, so nothing had happened to them, either.

Wait a minute.

Grim narrowed its eyes as it gazed around their room – their especially messy room, even for them. The difficulty sleeping... the loss of interest in their usual passions...

Ah, damn it.

"Not this shit again, brain!" Fur complained, maybe out loud maybe not, falling onto their bed.

It made sense alright. But why the fuck did they have to be stuck in a... depressive episode? Narc low? Bad day? Whatever. Grim felt like Stan, fucking hell. Always lying down too sad to do anything and fuck was he annoying and overdramatic but why did Grim have to go through it, too. He wasn't even in South Park to walk on the roofs or whatever, nope, if he tried to jump from a building to another he was sure they'd fucking die.

Was Mysterion still around? It could text him or something, maybe.

Eh... too lazy for that.

Whatever.

Sleeping wasn't quite a bad option either.

Prompt #1,891

Wait a minute.

System A narrowed their eyes as they gazed around their room – their especially messy room, even for them. The difficulty sleeping... the loss of interest in their usual passions...

Ah, damn it. "Not this shit again, brain!"

Through countless tests Zecora determined magic could be the only solution. It was her idea to send the elements of harmony to spike however - while they are deactivated its best to let spike keep them, as potentially he could be the only one to use them as they don't respond to Celestia anymore. though Celestia is reluctant, they need more help. Moondancer and now Shining Armor is gone, it just leaves Sunburst, and Time Turner. Although Nurse Redheart is on her way, they need as much magical help as they can get. Her students, her old companions, and a pony recommended by Sunburst now are invited to the castle. Celestia hopes this could be a turning point, as she knows Zecora only has two more days before she can no longer help.

been thinking about chronic pain kenny this morning

about how on bad pain days butters will cuddle him until he feels better

about how when he eventually gets mobility aids, jimmy suggests him to decorate them, and they go buy stickers together

about kenny saying "i fell" about his bruises, everyone thinking it's an excuse for abuse, but he did indeed fall

about kyle and stan standing up for him against cartman

about his friends accomodating him and helping him out whenever he needs it

about his siblings staying with him on bad days when butters can't

about him not getting better, but slowly becoming a lot happier and getting the support he deserves<3

[ask-starlightverse]

(slv style bc i can)

Who between the two is the biggest sweet tooth?

BOTH ACTUALLY they don't have that big a sweet tooth (unlike butters clyde or kenny) but they still both enjoy sweet stuff HOWEVER since stan likes (almost?) all other food flavors better than kyle, id say kyle has the biggest sweet tooth in comparison idk

Who has the highest spice tolerance?

kyle definitely (stan cant tolerate spice for the life of him)

How does Kyle’s mentioned diabetes affect his day to day life? [skipping cuz slv kyle doesnt have diabetes ;-;]

What is Stan’s relationship with his family? (Do his parents divorce? Is he on good terms with Shelley?)

his parents divorce when he's 13 :) but he and shelley still have to go to randy's farm every weekend (seen in TWSV). also he and shelley have a not-talking-much relationship, she doesn't hit him much anymore (maybe bc they almost don't see each other lmao)

Which one of their parents are they closer to/have a better relationship with?

SHARON FOR STAN DEFINITELY he despises randy lmao KYLE DOESN'T HAVE THE BEST RELATIONSHIP WITH EITHER OF HIS PARENTS TILL HE'S 17- id say sheila since after that though idk (17 = ISTYB happens)

Does Stan develop addiction problems? And how does this look as he grows up?

yup he has the addiction genes, as a young teen it was s/h, alcohol till his ~20s, and he has to watch out with most addictive stuff because he Cannot Leave

Does Kyle aim higher academically when they get into high school? (AP classes, school council, extracurriculars?)

lots of academic stress + mental issues = he's too fucked with trying to ace normal classes for extra stuff (he tried having a shitton of extracurriculars once, cue a breakdown) but he kept basketball because he fucking loves basketball :) (if ISTYB hadn't happened maybe he would've gone pro tbh)

Who confessed first?

kyle-ish? he got pissed and snapped lmfao 😭 (again, ISTYB XD)

Who proposed first?

STAN but tbh just bc he thought of it first XD (literally went *hey maybe i should ask kyle to marry me* "hey kyle wanna marry me?" they're a mess)

Who’s the clingier one of the two and who is more physically touchy?

BOTH ARE SO FUCKING CLINGY stan is more open about it though, also as much as they both love physical touch stan will do it more often too

yeah they're chill with each other :3 not the closest but still friends ✨

Is Kyle a good cook?

since his 30s yup, mostly taught by stan and his mom whenever they visit :) (till then well... slv kyle is slv kyle 😔✨)

Which one of the two ‘came out’ first/were aware of their attraction to the other?

im pretty sure they both were attracted to each other since they fuckin met XD i mean i guess kyle noticed first because stan was too busy with wendy? since as said in ISTYB "I’ve been in love with you since we were eleven", and stan stayed with wendy till he was 16, so yeah seems like it

“When you become a mother-“

Excuse me. I’m already a mother of 400 little goblin sunshine babies from multiple books.

Yes they’re adopted, but 90% of them don’t know that, so keep quiet. And we’ll also ignore half of them being in their 30’s with mortgages and I’m younger than them. They need someone who will raise them right this time.
